Even if the pedagogy of the principal is different, and that might cause friction, conversations keep the door open for understanding one another. And if your students are engaged and learning, the principal has an obligation to recognize your professional autonomy and agency. I&#39;ve found that conversations around the success of students in my classroom provided the common ground so a principal with different ideas can accept alternative strategies. Enjoy your new year! ~ SheriSheri42https://www.blogger.com/profile/06110059329788147499noreply@blogger.com
